N3F® Protocol · Facial rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid
The N3F® Protocol restructures the whole face with hyaluronic acid, gives its support back and creates a lifting effect without surgery. And it follows the result year after year. Created by Dr. Fred Fortes, a dental surgeon and one of the leading names in orofacial aesthetics in Brazil.
Anyone can deliver a pretty result in the first week. What Dr. Fred is after is a face that ages well over the years, with less product at every visit.

The whole face, read as a map.
When a face starts to look like it is sagging, it is almost never one spot: the midface loses support, the lower third drops and the contour goes with it. So before any injection, Dr. Fred reads the face by region. The plan comes from that map and is different for each person.
- Temples and upper third
- Malar region, where the face loses support first
- Jaw angle and contour
- Chin and lower third

What the protocol actually does.
Three stages, always in this order and always with hyaluronic acid as the only product. The amount is whatever each face asks for, and that is decided in the assessment, not on a price list.
First stageStructural replacement
It gives back the volume time took away, at the points that hold the face up. This is the base. Without it, any other injection is just makeup.
Second stageRepositioning
What dropped goes back into place. This is where the lifting effect comes from, and it is the stage that demands the most anatomical reading.
Third stageEnhancement
The features that were always yours, a little more defined. No excess, and without changing who you are.
What the follow-up looks like, year by year.
Results are not sold by the millilitre and do not end in the first week. After the restructuring there is a follow-up at 60 days, one maintenance a year with about a third of the initial product, and adjustments as life changes. Some patients are in their ninth year. Facial laxity is not solved in one session: it is managed over the years.
Assessment
A complete reading of the face and a plan that is yours alone.
Restructuring
The whole face, in a single session.
Check-up
Fine adjustments once everything has settled.
Maintenance
A third of the initial amount.
Management
Less product and more judgement, every year.
Still in maintenance
The longest-standing cases of the protocol.

What patients say.
Trust me, he is top notch. I have been a patient for 6 years and every time I went, he had a new technique, a more advanced product or something that could bring even more naturalness and immediate results. Wishing you success!
I am still in love with what I see in the mirror.
Gentleness you feel in every touch. Light, soft and precise hands that convey care, warmth and excellence in every procedure. When talent and gentleness go together, the result is simply flawless. Dr. Fred, my eternal thanks for the beautiful work. I feel more beautiful!
Five years ago, I decided to start a rejuvenation process with Dr. Fred. What began with hyaluronic acid triggered a much bigger transformation: I changed my diet, went back to the gym and, above all, changed on the inside. Today I see the best result of my whole life. Dr. Fred gave me back my best version.
A woman doesn't just need to look beautiful, she has to feel beautiful! That confidence is priceless. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Fred for the flawless work and care. He and his team are wonderful! I highly recommend them.
Without a doubt my best version. Dr. Fred is different, his work is excellent. He doesn't just fill one area: he analyzes the smallest details and then sculpts and enhances each person's beauty points naturally, while structuring the whole face. Our self-esteem is priceless.
